Hi, i just wonder if my pc is gonna be cool enough and not overheat if i have four 120mm fans with 800-1500RPM?

System spec:

GPU: Nvidia geforce gtx 660 TI
CPU: Intel core i5 3450 3,1 ghz
RAM: 8GB
MOTHERBOARD: Msi z77a g43
CASE: Aerocool strike x one
POWERSUPPLY: Cooler master gx lite 600w

this depends on if your going to overclock. If you are NOT planing to Overclock you will be fine with heat. If you ARE planning on overclocking then you may but the CPU you selected will only OC just so far.

you will be fine for heat. Keep this in mind though, room temp contributes to case and CPU temp.

Lol. M8 I've been using the same coolermaster 1000w psu for the past 3 years in various builds and cases and touch wood still going strong. Don't judge a book by its cover!

 


It is a well known fact that cooler master uses a low quality OEM and their units fail often. No one here would ever recommend one. The 1000w+ units are different because they have a different OEM.

im not disputing with what your saying but I know 3 different people (mates and 1 relative) who's corsair psu have blown or failed & belive me, they weren't the cheap 1s. Its all pot luck m8 as with life and material things such as cars, tele's etc etc.
